    I’m really keen that we’ll be seeing new contenders to Android. I am so done with Google’s constant rain of bad decisions over the years. I am drained.

    I’d love to see linux become as easy to install on any phone hardware as it is with PCs now.

      Installation via UBPorts is really easy. Ubuntu touch just doesn’t feel usable for me, yet.

    unveils LibrePhone

    aims to create a fully free and open mobile platform

    So it doesn’t actually exist? I cannot find any information about it at all.

    Cue my lack of surprise when they realize there are no 5g compatible basebands with open firmware, and you can’t practically make your own.

    I will be even less surprised that they probably won’t support 5g at all.
